Course Objectives: 

This course will enable the students to :This course introduces students to the methods of experimental physics. Emphasis  is given on laboratory techniques such as accuracy of measurements and data analysis. The concepts that are learnt in the lecture sessions  are translated to the laboratory sessions thus providing a hands-on learning experience.

Lab Course I

(Practical)

 

The students will be able to –

 

CO8: Understand  the concept of vernier caliper, screw gauge and travelling microscope by performing experiments.

 

CO9: Develop the skills to determine elastic constants like Young’s modulus, modulus of rigidity etc of metallic bar/plate by different methods 

 

CO10: Learn about Surface  tension by using Jaeger’s method

Approach in teaching:Demonstration, Group activity, Discussion ,Conduction of Experiments, asking viva voce questions
